Kisah Stewardess Solehah

Awal dalam bln puasa haritu I was contacted by old friend via watsapp. Ths friend mmg come and go la. Tenggelam timbul. Kejap ada, kejap takda. Mcm chipsmore juga ada. He told me that he’s getting married. Wow! At last, I said. This guy ni mmg ada commitment issue. I even asked him whether he’s getting married to the same girl. Surprisingly, he is. Rajin pulak ko nak menunggu mamat ni. He told he wanted me to be among the first to know. Mulut manis! Kata nak jemputla apa la. Kata nak hang out la, gossip2 la. Last2 aku malas, dia pon malas. Sama2 tak cuba call each other Tanya wat happened to the plan. Ahhahaha.
So last 2 weeks, I was thinking of him. Terpikir pasai pa, u might ask. Nak mintak jubah dubai secara free. Cantek kot jubah sana. Saw some in Carrefour wangsamaju. Pegi sekali tak beli terus. Pergi lagi sekali seller pon dh tutup kedai. Barang semua habis.

So I watsapp-ed this fella Tanya watsap, bro. It was on Thursday. He called me immediately. He asked my honest opinion about calling off wedding. I asked him back whether he got cold feet or he met someone else. A lil bit of both, katanya. Heh. No, I’m not judging. I’ve been in his shoes. Haha. The difference is, ai x bermain perasaan. I rarely let my emotion sinks in, while he is emotionally attached to the new girl.
He asked whether or not to tell the fiancé about the situation. Told him not to. But when asked bout it that night he admitted to everything. Even told the fiancé that he is emotionally dead to him, and he’s emotionally attached to the girl. The fiancé wouldn’t budge. Of course, I said. The wedding is in 2 weeks’ time. Dia kata mana ada 2 weeks. Dah besok. Cheh! So much of telling me I’m the first to know about you getting married. jemputan pon tak dpt. Tp nasib baik ai tawu ko tu jantan mulut maneeessssss!!! Marah pon tak guna. Baik mintak abaya santék satu.

So I asked him what is it that causes his change of heart. Katanya there’s this girl, stewardess solehah (SS). Ahahaha. Some people are just so funny. They should think of a more accurate term before making any statement. I asked him to define solehah. Katanya SS ni tak minum, tak clubbing, selalu suruh my friend pi subuh and terawekh, since it was in ramadhan kan. Kalo mcm tu, ai ni super solehah lah? But then, he added, you wouldn’t know how solehah you are, until you’re or working in a challenging environment. Yes SS is a good girl, but then that doesn’t make her solehah. Pegi check balik makna solehah please.
What really made you attached to the girl, I asked. Selalu ke jumpa? Katanya, dkt dubai selalu lepak sama. Hah! There, there! I knew it. You were away from your fiancé, then come this solehah too hot, too good to be true stewardess filling your empty space in your heart. I wasn’t born yesterday la dude. Solehah la sgt kaannnn. I’m not saying she’s bad. I am well-informed by you that she’s a good girl. Tp you should know where to use the term solehah. He added some more, she is so so nice. He wasn’t attracted to her at first and tried not to. SS even thought he was gay at first. Of all other guys courting SS, she only wants my friend. “Did she know you’re engaged? – Yes!” So so So solehah la niiii!

He was expecting me to say something like follow your heart. You know what your heart wants and shitz along the line lah kan. He told his mother about calling off the wedding, not about SS. His mom gave the best advice, di mana hatinya masih berbelah bahagi. i just told him, SS tu baik, but your fiancé lagi baik kot! Waiting for you all these years, knowing what a sweet talker you are. Eventhough your insecure self isn’t aware of this. And even after you told the fiancé you’re not into the wedding, she can still accept you, while other girls mungkin dah meroyan. Still not enough to convince him. As he mentioned earlier, he is emotionally attached to this stewardess solehah already.

But I know he’s gonna go with the wedding. He just needs someone to push him. And he did. Tak sampai ati nak lukakan hati ibu katanya. He’s not whole-heartedly into the wedding. My last advice was for him to just redha, get married lillahi ta’ala. It’ll get easier. When you put your religion and faith in qada’ and qadar first, you will know what you really want at the end of the day. When he expected me to be like friends in how I met your mother type, I just told him of that I’m not Hollywood lah. Ai gelak2 besar in public pon deep down inside, I’m conservative. 

He deactivated his facebook. I didn’t dare to watsapp him yet. I saw a group photo at his wedding. I could see he’s not as happy as his bride, while his bride had a wide grin on her face. Maybe I’ll watsapp him next year, when I get the news that he’s expecting. Maybe that time, he’ll be happier. I pray for your happiness. “Barakallahu lakuma Wa Baraka 'Alaikuma Wa Jama'a Bainakuma Fi Khair”.
